Oh My God -- These New Epstein Files Are Horrifying (Paul For Equality)

[QueerDuck]

The newly released Epstein files are some of the most morally repugnant, disturbing testimony ever made public.

What they describe is not “politics.”
It’s systemic abuse, trafficking, threats, and dehumanization of underage girls carried out by powerful, wealthy men who believed they were untouchable.

Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and an entire ecosystem of rich donors and political protectors are implicated — not by rumor, but by sworn testimony.

Trump would burn this country to the ground before allowing full accountability.
And the Republican Party has every incentive to help him — because donor money, power, and proximity to these crimes matter more to them than justice.

This isn’t left vs right.
This is power vs humanity.

The women and girls named in these files deserve justice.
Silence protects predators. Exposure is the only path forward.

1. Let the heads start rolling already

Is anyone feeling any safer the longer these depraved monsters are still roaming free?

[efhmc]

2. What do we know about the public actually reading them? Where is there a report of any reaction?

[slightlv]

16. What reaction I've seen in comments sections of some media that has

covered them is encouraging, in that it's not tongue in cheek, but actual outrage. But hea... as long as it's just "us" it doesn't mean much. We can be as outraged as possible, but what power do we have to affect actual change and accountability? Especially when trump is spending just about every available moment coming up with new ways to steal elections... or downright cancel them?

I've tried to read some of these, but I'll admit they're hard to follow with my 70 year old brain these days. Not only that, but the ones I've read have been so horrendous in what they detail, it's soul crushing. But the more redactions they added make it even harder to read. What I see that would be advantageous, is if someone were to summarize all these files without leaving out the details... but break through the redactions such that it's easier to read and understand. I say that, thinking, what is there to understand? Huge right wing evil white christian men raped, beat up, and killed girls and young women (and perhaps even some boys) for nothing more than momentary pleasure. If that's not sheer,unadulterated evil, I don't know what is.

3. This isn't left vs right. This is power vs humanity.

4. Arrest try and convict nothing less

For the 20 something youngsters (male) to witness this is beyond the pale ,there has to be humiliating public punishment like the Lincoln assassination or Nuremberg Gallows.

Maybe castration, after a fair public trial 20 at a time .

He could be impeached in 2 weeks just as fast as we went to war except his jury might have so many congressmen involved with the trump/ Epstein rape club they can't make a quorum.

[soldierant]

31. Castration doesn't work.

After castration, a man can still get an erection and have an orgasm. The only difference is that he an; impregnate anyone. Granted that would lower the rate of child mothers and abortions, it would also lower the discovery rate - many pedophiles who prefer girls are only caught because a ten-year-old is found to be pregnant. Sad, bur true. We need to talk about what is more important.

5. If TSF wasn't faceplanting in every policy area, it might be different. But losing support generally might mean

Epstein accountability for him? More GOPrs may have room to take him down via exposure.

[Mtnmama]

6. This is right in front of their eyes to see

Yet Republican congressmen still support, will not impeach him. How low our country has sunk. And the idiotic "religious" nuts who think he is doing gods will are truly deplorable. In my mind, they are literally worshipping satan.

[synni]

8. Your mind is 100% correct

[slightlv]

17. Look at how many of the repubs who were of "low rank"

some years ago, like little Mike J.... boasting all over everywhere about dirty money being handed out willy nilly on the House floor. Gatz... a virtual nobody... boasting from the floor about how he "partied" the night before. And who was the paraplegic who posted videos of himself engaging in the evil? I can't even remember his name. He gets lost in the milieu of evil.

I absolutely agree with you that they are worshipping Satan. Thing is, I think every single one of them know that as well... and it not only doesn't make any difference, they're willing to make any "crossroads deal" to get more. I think the christianist's "rapture" happened sometime ago and they just didn't notice because they all got left behind. We are now in the world of the Reign of Satan, thanks to them. And they're enjoying every wicked moment of it.

7. No one will be charged with anything until

the little blacked out words in the “files`’ just carefully released (drip…drip…) are exposed. How can a prosecution proceed without a victim and a perpetrator? Horrific, yes, but just more expressions of outrage, sound, and fury bemoaning a lack of concrete action.

[ShazzieB]

12. No one will be charged with anything as long as Trump is in office.

You're right about the little blacked out words, but I'm pretty sure those words will stay blacked out until he's no longer potus. "His" DOJ takes orders from him, and no one else, and will continue to do so as long as he's in charge. If Bondi was to leave or get fired, he'd just appoint another sycophant who would continue shielding him the way she's doing now.

[soldierant]

32. Not federally, no.

But if states can get their hands on evidence, some of them would. Jurisdiction might be an issue - but New Mexico, New York, and Florida all contain properties he used. I would put Florida low on the list were it not that they apparently did prosecute Epstein at one tome, although there was influence which impeded the prosecution.

[ShazzieB]

33. Good point.

Yeah, I was thinking federally, but I'm sure there are some states that will go after them if they get the chance.

[joshdawg]

13. You could have stopped with "no one

will be charged with anything."
And the traitor pedophile knows it.
No one is willing to stand up to him.

[pandr32]

26. This is why organized crime wanted inroads to the White House since the early part of the 1900s.

And oh look!--The president is a mob guy.

[LilElf70]

9. Very well analyzed

This is power vs humanity. Nailed it.

I agree, remove the redactions, and let justice serve these ruthless people.

[Joinfortmill]

10. Imagine, if we dare, what is being hidden.

[red dog 1]

11. K&R

This isn't left vs right.
It's right vs wrong.

[pansypoo53219]

14. blame thew teevee gnewz for pimping their golden squirl over grandma + the black chick.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. burn this country to the ground. Yep. That is the plan. He's guilty as hell and will do anything. Thanks Fred.

[CountAllVotes]

18. K&R

& recommend.

[ms.pamela]

19. Worse is probably yet to come

My niece and daughter have really been reading those files and what they did to children and babies is horrific. The nazis did not even commit crimes like these, I will not put up what they imparted to me, but both these women are college educated and disgusted. My daughter says this nation needs to accept responsibility for these crimes against humanity and the justice department needs to be held accountable for failing to prosecute these monsters.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. This is the ugliest side of Capitalism without safeguards.

And apparently our "Christan" conservatives are fine with it.

[raging moderate]

21. "Let Justice Roll Like Rivers From the Mountains to the Sea!"

"While some of us are slaves, then NONE of us are truly free!
We'll break the captives' bonds, and then proclaim true Liberty!
God's truth is marching on!"

Later verse of the Civil War Union song! Quoted from the Bible, written by a Union Repubican, and sung by anti-slavery people fighting for justice and democracy! Come on, my country! Let's pull together! Let's become, once more, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA1

[artemisia1]

22. Slight correction to the article: "powerful men who believed -- rightfully so in most cases -- that they were

untouchable". There. I fixed it

[Skittles]

24. right???

it is somewhat satisfying to know these rich assholes, although they have yet to be held accountable, must be regularly shitting pretty heavy bricks

[SergeStorms]

25. They have the money......

to buy "justice."

We all know there are different tiers in our "justice" system. The poor minorities have the lowest tier, then poor whites, then middle class Americans, wealthy minorities, and finally uber-wealthy whites.

Should those tiers exist? Absolutely not! However, they do, and the wealthy seldom see the same level of justice as everyone else. It's not fair, but fairness in American culture went out with buggy whips and sad irons.

[artemisia1]

29. I deeply hope they are. /nt

[Bluetus]

23. Is this stuff legit?

Why hasn't this been reported widely? Is this guy credible or is this some kind of trap?

[Clouds Passing]

27. Worth the listen about Zorro Ranch...

[judy]

28. Thank you QD!

I believe that the day all the "Epstein Files" are made public, the level of depravity, hubris and disdain for human life might create a shift of consciousness in the world, that might turn this runaway train around. Otherwise, as Rick Wilson reminds us "Everything Trump Touches Dies", and now, it's humanity at large...thank you to all who have relentlessly looked through the files, and demanded that the DOJ follow the law...you might save us all!

[snot]

30. It would have been helpful

if the Mr. Lance had provided links to the sources and/or more info about the context. I.e., I'm not clear who it is the speaker in the texts he's reading, or who they were speaking to, etc., all of which might help establish credibility.
